Lilly, Ella, and Eli were hanging out yesterday. Lilly thought her baby twins would enjoy a Thomas movie so she put in the DVD and they all "watched" TV! When we were getting the babies ready for bed Lilly decided she wanted to try out the crib and get a picture! The last photos are of Easter. Ella and Eli looked so cute in their "dress-up" outfits. Lilly looked adorable in her Easter dress too.

We had a 2 week check up yesterday and both babies are growing and doing very well. Ella now weighs 5 lbs. 2 oz., so she can be in a "real" car seat...we had to take her home in a car bed (I will put a picture of it on here next time). Eli weighs 7 lbs. 2 oz. They are really good babies and I think we are adjusting well to having 3 kids...we are trying really hard to feed Ella and Eli at the same time other wise it feels like all you do is feed and change diapers.

Those of you who heard I was readmitted to the hospital this week should know that I am doing good and my blood pressure is staying normal instead of jumping all over the place. Today I actually felt like I had energy and could do more stuff...but I also need to not over do it (as Chris keeps saying). I go back to see the dr. on Tuesday.

Newest Additions to Our Family

Well, I thought I would try out blogging.

Ella Jean and Eli Christopher were born on Friday, April 3, 2009. We were all able to come home on Monday, April 6, 2009. I think it is so amazing and a definite miracle that they are finally here and doing so well...Those of you that I have talked to within the last week know that Chris and I are running on very little sleep. Although on Easter Sunday my parents did the late night feedings...which was WONDERFUL, Chris, Lilly, and I slept in the basement like 3 angels!! Chris and I are very confident that it will get better...it actually as gotten better since we have discovered these swaddler blankets (thanks to Amy and Ann- Chris says we owe you BIG time) Ever since we started putting the "swaddlers" on them at night they have been sleeping much better at night...

Big Sister Lilly is fighting a bad cold right now but she is loving the time we all get to spend at home with each other...she is in love with her new little siblings but is very anxious for them to play. Every once in a while she will stop whatever she is doing and say "I need to check on my baby twins!"
